Xtol Vs Rodinal for Film Developing

[baachitraka]

I'm starting to wonder if I really even need Rodinal now. Xtol seems to do everything I need. All Rodinal seems to do is define the grain more. I might pick up some HC110 though, as I use a lot of really old films. It would help with the fog.

It's bit of exaggeration about the grain. Rodinal is avery good developer and there is a agitation technique to push shadows and pull a bit of highlights.
